I recently posted a question asking why the burning of flags outside the US embassy by approx.100 Muslims, none of whom got arrested, got no coverage on the British media.
Yet this report by the Guardian, which reports on on only seven EDL supporters, who travelled to New York to peacefully protest against the proposed building of a mosque near to 'Ground Zero', was not similarly covered up.
One will notice that there are no flag burnings, no offensive banners and no burning of effigies, by these protesters, but the leader of the EDL Tony Robinson was refused entry at JFK airport, taken into custody and flown straight back to the UK,
Their only crime according to Guardian
/// The contingent was pictured holding banners incorporating St George's cross, Israel's flag and the US stars and stripes, as well as the slogans "No Mosque at Ground Zero", "The more Islam, the less freedom", "No Sharia", and "No Surrender". They wore EDL T-shirts sporting the group's crusader shield logo. ///
How dare they, I hear you shout.
Double standards, spring to mind.
